The dots of silver energy gradually faded, and among the snow, a silver wolf the size of the Green-Winged Grey Wolf slowly walked out.

The cold wind ruffled the soft silver fur. The body was elegant and nimble, another pair of wings on its back. The four silver wings had an astounding wingspan at ten meters. The large dark gold eyes shown with gratefulness. The silver wolf bent its head to Aofeng, and reached her feet.

"Liao Ya? You can speak?" Aofeng was shocked for a moment. According to what she knew, spirit magus beasts only possess human-like intelligence and did not know how to speak. Seeing Liao Ya's present state, she suddenly thought of a possibility. "You levelled up?"

"Yes, Master, under your special magus power, any magic beast that forms a covenant with you will receive some benefits. I was originally a nine-star spirit beast. Because of your benevolence and covenant, I have become a sacred beast." The four-winged silver wolf's voice was filled with joy as though forming a covenant with Aofeng was something to be proud of. It looked at her with a respectful and burning gaze. "However, I can only communicate with you. I will only be able to speak the human language after become a divine beast. And only adult super-divine beasts can possibly take human form."

"I understand." Aofeng nodded. She sighed inwardly about the wonders of the Magus Divinity Power Source. No wonder the Radiance Magus Church had spent more than a decade searching for it and hadn't given up. This ability to have magic beasts level up was terrifying.

Suddenly, the dirt under her feet moved, and a furry little thing climbed out of the snow. It nimbly climbed up along the black robe that touched the ground, and only wriggled its behind and then sat down after climbing to Aofeng's shoulder. It was the nine-star ice mouse that Jun Luoyu had given to her.

Aofeng laughed. This little thing was fortunate to have not been burned dead by the fire. Thinking about Jun Luoyu, her gaze gentled. She chanted the Magus Divinity Spell to form a covenant, and the little ice mouse became a one-star magus beast as it desired. Its dark pair of eyes suddenly had the light of intelligence. Its eyes flickered around, and then it burrowed into Aofeng's collar coquettishly.

"Alright, don't play around. You will be called Xiao Bing from now on." Using her fingertip to touch the little guy whose' head poked out occasionally from her collar, Aofeng jumped onto Liao Ya's back. Liao Ya's silver wings spread and flew out of the Xiangnan Forest.

Seated firmly on Liao Ya's black, she allowed the wild wind to catch her hair. She only learned that the world was more beautiful than she imagined by looking down from high up.

An endless forest, curved rivers and streams, the green mountains at the edge of the horizon, the vast cities in the distance. Under the cover of the snow, it formed a vast silver picture.

On the road, Aofeng communicated with Liao Ya. Aofeng wanted to understand the Magus Divinity Power Source, but unexpectedly, Liao Ya did not know what it was. Liao Ya only knew that the one he guarded, Chi, had asked him to lure Aofeng. He did not know what Chi's identity was. However, under the power of Chi's blood, he was unconditionally loyal. Liao Ya had been a local lord in Xiangnan Forest, and had been wounded by the time he encountered Chi.

After summoning such a great amount of Heaven Fire this time, Chi sank into a deep sleep. He was greatly wounded, and probably would not wake soon. Fortunately, he entered the magus beast space after forming the covenant with Aofeng, and his pursuers would not be able to find him.

"Jun Luoyu's problem has not been resolved, Chi seems to have some trouble too, all of this would only be resolved with great power. I need to increase my power as fast as possible," Aofeng murmured. She ordered Liao Ya to land at a place near Qin City and then shrink into a normal silver wolf. She walked back to the city to avoid unnecessary trouble.
